DR.. Wizards Speciality.

Burlington is becoming distinguished for
its curative and health institutions, and in
no way more so than in the recent establish
ment by DR.. A. j. Willard of a " rest-cure
for nervous diseases. We have been ac-
quainted with the doctor for many years.
and it is with pleasure that we are permitted
to refer to him in this connection. He
is a fine classical scholar, having graduated
first in his class in a large university and
subsequently in the medical profession, and
is perfect gentleman as well. For six
years he was superintendent and resident
physician OF the Mary Fletcher Hospital at
Burlington, during which time over a thou
sand patients came under his care, and very
many of them with Affections the treatment
of which the doctor now makes a speciality.
He is pre-eminently well equipped, both by
education and experience, for the important
branch of the medical profession to which
he is now giving his attention. and it is not
too much to say that with his facilities he
can be depended upon to render greater as
sistance than can be reached anywhere else
in this part of the country. He is located
in one of the pleasantest of Burlington's
many beautiful districts-near University
park, the largest and most fascinating pub
lie reservation in the city. He Is also in an
educational atmosphere as well, in good
fellowship and close association with the
medical faculty of the Burlington College,
which is among the most learned and prac-
teal in the Union. In another column will
be noticed the advertisement of DIR. Will
lard's rest-treatment for nervous diseases,
now being made a speciality by some of the
ablest physicians in the largest cities. But
it would seem that no point would be more
desirable for those suffering from nervous
troubles to seek than the one at Burlington.
While the advantages are of the highest Or
der in every respect, the expenses to be
borne by the invalid will be small in com
parison. DR.. Willard has been eminently
successful in his chosen profession, and will
be for time to come.-.St. AlbdpS Messenger

EVERY dairy farmer should be on the look
out for the apparatus in which to set milk
that will yield the greatest net profits. The
Cooley Dreamer has stood the tests Of ten
years. proving that it has no equal in pro-
ducing the largest quantity and the best
quality of butter. The analysis OF the skim
milk by Professor Babcock of the New York
Experiment Station shows less than tenth
of one per cent of fat left in the milk. No
other apparatus has been able to show so
perfect separation of the cream from the
milk. The sales Of these creamers are very
extensive, both in this country and Eu-
rope far exceeding any others-the Cooley
Dreamer, with its products, having been
awarded more gold and silver medals than
all other cream-raising apparatuses com
bined.
